  3. Losing weight during the 3 months of nutrition visits.

    I am curious as to the first day when I am weighed in, (first visit) is that the weight that will be submitted to my insurance company. What happens if you lose weight during the 3 months and your BMI drops to under 40. I am right at 40 with high cholesterol 265, my sugar is 129. Doing my sleep study soon as well. Does this sound like I will qualify. I have BCBS FEP Basic. More concerned about the weigh in day and losing weight afterwards.
